  Camp David Accords (1978) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By all accounts, Carter's relentless drive to achieve peace and his reluctance to allow the two men to leave without reaching an agreement are what played the decisive role in the success of the talks.
There were two 1978 Camp David agreements A Framework for Peace in the Middle East and A Framework for the Conclusion of a Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel, the second leading towards the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty signed in March, 1979.
The first part was a framework for negotiations to establish an autonomous self-governing authority in the West Bank and the Gaza strip and to fully implement SC 242.

 Text of the Camp David Accords
To achieve a relationship of peace, in the spirit of Article 2 of the United Nations Charter, future negotiations between Israel and any neighbor prepared to negotiate peace and security with it are necessary for the purpose of carrying out all the provisions and principles of Resolutions 242 and 338.
Peace requires respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every state in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force.
In addition, under the terms of peace treaties, the parties can, on the basis of reciprocity, agree to special security arrangements such as demilitarized zones, limited armaments areas, early warning stations, the presence of international forces, liaison, agreed measures for monitoring and other arrangements that they agree are useful.

His works include the "Red-Riding Quartet" (set against a backdrop of the Yorkshire Ripper murders, and GB84, set against the UK miners' strike (1984-1985).

 American Experience | Jimmy Carter | People & Events
Stopping twenty-five times for applause, he described the first peace treaty between Israel and one of its Arab neighbors, as well as a framework for further progress toward peace in the Middle East.
The first would be a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, in which the Israelis would return the Sinai territory in exchange for diplomatic recognition, access to the Suez Canal, and restrictions on the Egyptian military presence on its border.
Although the political benefits were slight, the Camp David agreement was Carter's most important presidential accomplishment, and a shining moment in the Middle East peace process.

 Camp David Peace Proposal of July, 2000: Frequently Asked Questions (by PNT) - Media Monitors Network   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Palestinians did consider the idea of a land swap but proposed that such land swap must be based on a one-to-one ratio, with land of equal value and in areas adjacent to the border with Palestine and in the same vicinity as the lands to be annexed by Israel.
Talks after Camp David suggested that Israel was prepared to allow Palestinians sovereignty over isolated Palestinian neighborhoods in the heart of East Jerusalem, however such neighborhoods would remain surrounded by illegal Israeli colonies and separated not only from each other but also from the rest of the Palestinian state.
Palestinians entered the peace process on the understanding that (1) it would deliver concrete improvements to their lives during the interim period, (2) that the interim period would be relatively short in duration - i.e., five years, and (3) that a permanent agreement would implement United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338.

 David Woollcombe - Peace Child
David Woollcombe is the playwright for Peace Child and the president of the Peace Child Foundation.
The heart of the play is in the dialogues with the two presidents where the children get a sense of the magnitude of the problems, and the presidents see in the innocent trusting of the children perhaps a way that points towards world peace.
Having been in "PEACE CHILD," my suggestion for world peace is for all the leaders of the advanced countries to have a big meeting and have nobody leave until a decision has been made about getting rid of nuclear weapons.

While Lynch's peculiar peace push would seem to invite ridicule by cynical New Yorkers, the director behind such creepy classics as "Eraserhead," "Blue Velvet" and, most recently, "Mulholland Drive," remains deeply devoted to his cause: "I'm going all out for this," vows Lynch.
Scheduled to join Lynch at Friday's Plaza press conference are choreographer Robert La Fosse, physicist John Hagelin, peace activist Robert Brown and the Maharishi himself, live via satellite from the Netherlands.

“Peace is a delusion,” Hatem said, adding that Egypt should join its Arab brothers in a war to recover Palestinian and Syrian land occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.
The Israeli-Egyptian peace accords, signed in 1979, were hammered out from September 5-17, 1978, during intense negotiations at the US presidential retreat of Camp David under the mediation of President Jimmy Carter.
But for Israel, Camp David “taught us that a genuine peace could be reachable, once the parties share a strategic decision to achieve it in serious negotiations and in good faith,” said Gideon Ben-Ami, Israel’s ambassador to Cairo.

 A Closer Look — Making David Schickele's Peace Corps Film - page 3
It was utilized a bit in Peace Corps recruiting, although the agency was never comfortable with the “behind the scenes” look at the Peace Corps.
The Peace Corps banned showings of the film in southern states out of concern that it would inflame race relations — which probably meant offend southern politicians.
David prized the film as a historical document capturing the spirit of Nigeria in that halcyon time between independence and civil war.

 "American Evenhandedness in the Mideast Peace Process: Lessons from Camp David II and the Al-Aqsa Intifada" by Saul ...
The assumption that the peace side of the "land for peace" equation could be taken for granted was widespread not just on the American side but in the Oslo conception that had become part of the Israeli consensus.
As long as the peace process was in its interim phases, "evenhandedness" meant pressing Israel to keep to the Oslo timetable and keeping the Palestinians from trying to accelerate or influence Israeli withdrawals through violence.
A real peace process must distinguish between demands that are about fulfilling needs on the Arab side that are consistent with peaceful coexistence with Israel, and demands that materially weaken Israel's legitimacy in the region.

In a prison for example, 95 percent of the prison compound is ostensibly for the prisoners—cells, cafeterias, gym and medical facilities—but the remaining 5 percent is all that is needed for the prison guards to maintain control over the prisoner population.
However, Israel's Camp David proposal of a nine-to-one land swap (in Israel's favor) was viewed as so unfair as to seriously undermine belief in Israel's commitment to a fair territorial compromise.
Palestinians entered the peace process on the understanding that (1) it would deliver concrete improvements to their lives during the interim period, (2) that the interim period would be relatively short in duration—i.e., five years, and (3) that a permanent agreement would implement United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338.

The Gulf War cease-fire resolution of 1991 specified that the disarmament of Iraq was to be the first step toward the creation in the Middle East of a "zone free from weapons of mass destruction." The elimination of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq should thus lead to their elimination throughout the region.

The Camp David Accords had their origin in Sadat's unprecedented visit to Jerusalem on November 19-21, 1977, to address the Israeli Knesset, the first visit by an Arab head of state to Israel.
The agreements were based on UN resolutions 242 and 338, and were meant to constitute a basis for peace between Egypt and Israel, as well as to reach "a just, comprehensive, and durable settlement of the Middle East conflict" for all neighbors willing to negotiate with Israel.
The two agreements between Israel and Egypt led to a negotiated peace between those two nations in 1979, the first between Israel and any of its Arab neighbors.

We may dream, as President Clinton evidently does, that Camp David will be the latest, and even the final, scene of much busy signing by Israelis and Palestinians of documents on paper of the highest quality, adorned with seals of state, and all in a festival of handshakes and photo-ops, sweetness and light.
A "peace process" is by definition a dreamscape of the highest order; it may or may not be related to peace itself.
Israelis ask for security, which means a continuing presence on the West Bank, and the maintenance of most of their settlements there, involving the fate of perhaps 150,000 people who live in them.
